Nov 2020 Report

Physical Description: Average build that is without much projection. High-waisted and thicker lower half. Physically looks like a 2B or 3B, but is athletic enough to stick at SS.
Hit: Mirror image, upright stance with his knees slightly bent. Big leg kick from the right side, less so from the left. Uses his whole body to generate above-average bat speed. Level swing that creates natural lift. Shows a tendency to overswing which is common for players his age. Impacts the ball better from the right side but shows an advanced ability to make contact from both sides. He's mostly a slap hitter from the left side at the moment. Pitches down and away give him trouble but he's generally able to foul them off to stay alive. There's some swing and miss to his game which can be normalized with a better approach and additional reps from the left side. There are reasons to project a future average or better hit tool but he has a number of adjustments to make. Grade: 45
Power: Average raw power during BP from both sides. Mostly pull side. He hasn't gotten to it much in-game because his left-handed stroke lags behind the right. As he cuts down his aggressiveness and becomes more comfortable in the box from the left side, he should be able to reach more power. For now he's mostly a gap hitter. Grade: 40
Field: Smooth actions in the field. Good body control allows him to make some flashy plays while moving laterally. Excels moving to his left. Keeps the ball in front of him and doesn't make many mistakes. He has above-average awareness and gets a good jump on ground balls. Average or better range. Has experience at both SS and 2B and the tools profile at either. Grade: 55
Arm: Gets the ball out quick. Strong arm that even plays deep in the hole. Some effort in the motion. Throws were mostly on target in limited looks. Grade: 55
Run: Average times in the 60 yd. dash as an amateur. Average straight-line speed. Shows good awareness on the base paths despite not being a real threat to steal. Timed at 4.28 to 1B from the right side. Grade: 40
Overall: Sanquintin is one of many SS prospects stewing in Cleveland's lower levels. All of his tools could be average or better in time, but he's raw enough with the bat to suggest he'll be a slow mover. His tools fit at SS, but his body may restrict him if he adds any additional bulk and loses a step in the field. A well-rounded and potentially average everyday 2B is a reasonable upside, assuming he makes the necessary gains with the stick.
